Adobe Creative Cloud

“it is certainly cheaper to keep up with the latest CC than it was before”

“Adobe's apps are pretty solidly reliable, if uninspiring in places”

“They want the cheapest monthly price, but also the ability to cancel.”

“They don't even offer a monthly subscription contract - it's purely annual, but they advertise and promote monthly with fine print.”

“They offer click-to-cancel, but then charge a cancellation fee equal to what you would have paid for the rest of the one-year term.”

“only to see the product get more bloated, less stable and any bugs/feature-requests you file go to /dev/null.”

“a familiar line of stable, well-supported, interoperable, and actively-developed products”

“They made the best software for their specific field and have been reaping the rewards for a long time.”

“adobe/office are simply too complex for AI to replicate (as of now)”

“imagine a 50€ / month subscription that gives access to all Autodesk apps”

“The Adobe Creative Cloud app runs as admin, and does automated updates (when it's working as intended) without further requiring a password.”

“Adobe subscription model and past piracy tolerance allowed many people who couldn't afford their stuff to use it while paying less or nothing”

“There's plenty of examples of subscriptions that are nearly impossible to cancel, or have a giant fee for cancelling early.”

“they had a customer retention flowchart to work through, and it was just a matter of getting to the right terminal node”

“These apps do a much better job of adopting native platform appearance and conventions”

“Cancelling early results in a 50% of remaining months subscriptions being applied as a cancellation charge.”

“Scrolling through the rest all of it is them just selecting this option without reading the details”

“Adobe isn't hard to cancel if you sign up for monthly subscriptions.”

“I've used their software during my Multimedia studies and continued paying for some of it because it was just very, very good.”

“adobe is being generous by letting you "cough up" only a half the fee”

“So what was Adobe supposed to do, make a worse product to give the other ones a chance?”

“Adobe does fine despite there being plenty of alternatives to their products”

“Adobe is cheap, you can get the full suite for a very reasonable price.”

“Of course they're trying to get you hooked, pricing at a point to minify budget issues, and recurring year-round to avoid expense approvals.”

“$120 a year for professional use is dirt cheap.”

“The scummy subscription dark patterns like "sign up to the $50pm plan but also it's a yearly agreement with termination fees teehee"”

“shunting Adobe for something else in a professional environment is more trouble than it's worth”

“If anything, knowing whether the app is installed or not is kinda important?”

“by default Creative Cloud stored copies of any documents edited within an Adobe cloud account - with no opt-in”

“I was able to get the Creative Cloud app in Wine (set to Windows 10 mode)”

“It includes everything you need around the apps for pro workflows”

“Adobe also started out as a choice between subscription or buying.”

“Until Ableton and Creative Cloud are native, I'm stuck with WinBlows.”

“They're industry standard because they were first. Not necessarily because they were better.”

“Adobe suite, pro audio tools, Da Vinci Resolve, etc, they just... work.”

“Customer support is just a forum where 98% of the offered "fixes" for bugs in their software is "revert to previous version"”

“any graphic designer will kick and scream if they're not given the adobe suite”

“Watch the demos Adobe just gave from their conference two weeks ago.”

“Adobe has encroached upon every corner of this industry, pretty much all of their apps are the standard tools for any given design job”

“They perform horrendously and have terrible UI/X”
